I would like to introduce Finkelstein's Razor: a rhetorical device where one accuses their interlocutor, whether falsely or truly, of being Italian; therefore leading the audience to dismiss the argument of one's opponent out of hand, on account of them being Italian.

There's a lot of things pointing to China being less exploitative than Western trade, but it'd be nice if someone did a comprehensive analysis a la the Hickel study.

Assuming this is recent it's just a marketing thing to get people to forget about bds. Outrage marketing has been the norm for a long time now

no centralised social network could ever produce ‘the taliban deleted my account.’ that's a mastodon special.

Yeah all those brown children on the other side of the world were soooo close to infringing on my freedom of speech before they got massacred by American troops

That's already largely the case imo. Very general information is usually fine, but get specific at all and it seems impossible to find anything anymore.

Of that $30.50, the person delivering the food got $3 and the person making the food got $2.
